i m the type of person that i m been trying to change it, but i still have that part of me i m going to do what i want, when i want. ain t nobody going to stop me. as he serves his time in pendleton s gang unit, boggess says his former ties with the imperial gangsters gave him street cred, but that wasn t his own crutch on the outside. when you have a gun on you, it makes you feel a lot safer than it would if you didn t have one. the neighborhood i grew up in, people always shooting, fighting and stuff, and it s crazy. it makes you feel powerful, too, like you can t be touched, and i like that feeling. even behind bars, boggess has had his share of violent episodes fighting, battery, attempted escape. this is his second stint in a juvenile prison, this time for armed robbery. it wasn t about needing or wanting money. i mean, i had money. it was just something to do. it was a gas station.
